I seriously don’t get it. There is no doubt Inception was one of the high lights of last year but the golden globes seemed to skip over inception.
Anyway, this is my list of films you should have seen (or look out for in 2011) in 2010,
- Inception
Need I say more? - The Social Network
Didn’t really want to like it, but after seeing it I really liked it. Its certainly one of the best internet/tech to movie translations I’ve witnessed. The tone is just right throughout. - Scott Pilgrim vs the world
This film is simply nuts. A whirlwind of modern film techniques wrapped up in a fantastic coming of age plot with like-able multi faceted characters. - Cash
Simple plot with devastating results. A very heart felt to the characters who end up on the wrong side of this psychopath. - Takers
Stylish heist movie in the vein of Inside man and Lucky number Sleven. Reminds me of Guy Richie’s Revolver crossed with Heat. Tasty stuff. - Catfish
What on earth is going on with this movie? All I can say is its intriguing true or false. - Exit through the gift shop
Like Catfish, a documentary style which could be true or false, don’t really care its just a intriguing tale. - Freakonomics: The Movie
The film based on a few chapters from the famous and popular Freakonomics book. Well worth watching as a introduction to the books. - Flipped
2 children growing up together and learning from each other how life can or should be. Each bit is told from each point of view which makes for a interesting story. - Monsters
Imagine Cloverfield happened 5 years ago, Monsters is what would the future be like after a alien invasion. It is like District 9 in scenario but this is a very slow burning storyline which will lose lots of people expecting more - 4,3,2,1
4 girls different storylines which over lap in places. Noel Clarke has once again outdone himself with this stylish and sometimes quite gritty drama - 127 hours
I wanted to put in both 127hours and buried. But choose 127 hours because although there quite similar, 127 hours isn’t so focused on one scene. The flashbacks are a good break from what was going on.
It still shocks me when I hear people say they haven’t seen inception. I mean I can understand it if you haven’t because of time but the reason I usually hear is because they have heard its a bit of a mind screw.
In actual fact, its actually not that much of a mind screw. Yes you do have to pay attention and quite a lot does indeed happen but its not any more difficult to understand that Twelve monkeys. Put it this way, its nothing like Primer. and that crazy timeline of the film.
For goodness sake if you’ve not seen Inception, go rent it today!
